pull this one out of the milk crate, but it doesn't really help.<br /><br />Still one of the best compilations ever -- not "Flex Your Head" level, or "Boston Not L.A." level, but maybe only a step or two below. This flows remarkably well, considering for the most part it's a bunch of aggressive/weird NYC bands thrown next to each other. Perhaps due to marketability issues, the label folded not long after this was released.<br /><br />"The Dustdevils discography is very long and confusing so why don't you just go to Sounds and look in the 'D' bin instead" -- from the liner notes, which presumably someone was fired over.<br /><br /><br /><center>Dustdevils -<br /><br /><a href="https://app.box.com/s/7reqfp4qoyf5s65hcu3d4h18hfi5p6wf" target="_blank">"Throw The Bottle Full"</a><br /><br />Cop Shoot Cop -<br /><br /><a href="https://app.box.com/s/4v7aelsjres9k4t4fl03u5jhdcoj52do" target="_blank">"Dive"</a><br /><br />Circle X -<br /><br /><a href="https://app.box.com/s/6o76hx17176z7c1v1dhkjnoitgjshimm" target="_blank">"Crash (St. Sebastian of The Hood)"</a><br /><br />OWT -<br /><br /><a href="https://app.box.com/s/kk8ki67599o67exg0nmlcecdgukfvq8b" target="_blank">"Alive With Pleasure"</a><br /><br />Unsane -<br /><br /><a href="https://app.box.com/s/uktenhoz43xc8rilyl24msa3ix13zbzb" target="_blank">"Boost"</a></center><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-B3omzwb2YgQ/V94AiBJKrsI/AAAAAAAABQU/QJV6gapg-947xsJDhZMdgfOc6tUIecq2ACLcB/s1600/NewYorkEyeAndEarControlBack.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-B3omzwb2YgQ/V94AiBJKrsI/AAAAAAAABQU/QJV6gapg-947xsJDhZMdgfOc6tUIecq2ACLcB/s460/NewYorkEyeAndEarControlBack.jpg"/></a></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jne9XmcQrQc/V94AqVCVHDI/AAAAAAAABQY/gnCyCxF21H0dM83VtW3Q4pl_mYYi8MltwCLcB/s1600/NewYorkEyeAndEarControlInsert.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jne9XmcQrQc/V94AqVCVHDI/AAAAAAAABQY/gnCyCxF21H0dM83VtW3Q4pl_mYYi8MltwCLcB/s460/NewYorkEyeAndEarControlInsert.jpg"/></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZhQnck-elKM/V94A5deGr5I/AAAAAAAABQg/z4LBRiGKrV4XJtG8_jWL1TMbEzd2tR7zQCLcB/s1600/NewYorkEyeAndEarControlVinyl.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZhQnck-elKM/V94A5deGr5I/AAAAAAAABQg/z4LBRiGKrV4XJtG8_jWL1TMbEzd2tR7zQCLcB/s640/NewYorkEyeAndEarControlVinyl.jpg" width="460"/></a></div>http://onebaseonanoverthrow.blogspot.com/2016/09/if-you-dont-like-my-standards-then-i.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Brushback)3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2239910173455706271.post-4870015329626591230Tue, 23 Aug 2016 00:37:00 +00002016-08-22T21:50:45.278-04:0000'sHue Blanc's Joyless Onesindie rock/popWithout Geometry, Life Is Pointless<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-iHNHTh-BQhg/V7palDysppI/AAAAAAAABPc/5Mldqvig8OMKMby_EAqm3iDBpslnyFDQwCLcB/s1600/HueBlanc%2527sJoylessOnesFront.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-iHNHTh-BQhg/V7palDysppI/AAAAAAAABPc/5Mldqvig8OMKMby_EAqm3iDBpslnyFDQwCLcB/s540/HueBlanc%2527sJoylessOnesFront.jpg"/></a></div><center><img src="http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y142/Brushback/HueBlancsJoylessOnesFaitAccompliCaption_zpssrzphkfz.jpg~original" border="0" alt=" photo HueBlancsJoylessOnesFaitAccompliCaption_zpssrzphkfz.jpg"/></center><br />I'm always running into guys talking about bands they think have been unfairly ignored / overlooked, although most of the time it's some idiot talking about The Strokes (srsly I've seen this) or Flaming Lips or Tame Impala or something. If there's a band out there that I think genuinely fits that bill, though, it's Hue Blanc's Joyless Ones (you can go ahead and disagree with me, that's what reading other blogs is for). I've never seen them live -- they're from Wisconsin or something, which is a part of Canada or up by Alaska I think, wouldn't know, don't have any friends there -- but I have three of their albums, none of which I paid any more than three dollars for. I think S-S Records will give you a whole box of their second LP just for asking. Dunno why this is, though, because there stuff is endlessly rocking, like Death of Samantha / Cle-era Prisonshake with shittier production values (and less '70s hard rock moves, but whatever). You could even listen to three of their songs right now if you want, including the one that I fucked up but left the way it is because I don't give a shit, or not. Watch out when you listen to "Cynical Courtship etc etc" though, it's got a kinda screwy keyboard part that'll make you think yr smoke alarm is going off.<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HgYU5LYJqj4/V7pa4UNecWI/AAAAAAAABPg/IzUfapERlJk52mrEzMUEuoQd8gh1uXJpACLcB/s1600/HueBlanc%2527sJoylessOnesBack.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HgYU5LYJqj4/V7pa4UNecWI/AAAAAAAABPg/IzUfapERlJk52mrEzMUEuoQd8gh1uXJpACLcB/s500/HueBlanc%2527sJoylessOnesBack.jpg"/></a></div><br /><center>Hue Blanc's Joyless Ones -<br /><br /><a href="https://app.box.com/s/rogrbq7idajoxbqbmzb6fq7kmrhamy7y" target="_blank">"Notoriety"</a><br /><br /><a href="https://app.box.com/s/fqg5njeau59iqa46sonvz0ko85085v7i" target="_blank">"Auto Erotic Uh Fixation"</a><br /><br /><a href="https://app.box.com/s/430m8d5xphrl2qk88m12iow30buvhgkc" target="_blank">"Cynical Courtship Of The Seraphim Sister"</a></center><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tgEi8fQx_m0/V7pbq9XhzhI/AAAAAAAABPo/xYh_7bHm5soQHFWEqBvw8g5V-34irhoIACLcB/s1600/HueBlanc%2527sJoylessOnesVinyl.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tgEi8fQx_m0/V7pbq9XhzhI/AAAAAAAABPo/xYh_7bHm5soQHFWEqBvw8g5V-34irhoIACLcB/s470/HueBlanc%2527sJoylessOnesVinyl.jpg"/></a></div>http://onebaseonanoverthrow.blogspot.com/2016/08/without-geometry-life-is-pointless_22.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Brushback)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2239910173455706271.post-6680912950844122009Fri, 29 Jul 2016 00:17:00 +00002016-07-28T20:17:39.701-04:0080'sindie rock/popJean Paul Sartre ExperienceMost Of The Time I'm Not Much Fun, The Rest Of The Time I'm Not Any Fun At All<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hJ94pBwXZ6g/V5qLZAs_43I/AAAAAAAABOo/TbH2nYYiDlwWDsCx_H23ainayHbp4rzPACLcB/s1600/JeanPaulSartreExperienceFront.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hJ94pBwXZ6g/V5qLZAs_43I/AAAAAAAABOo/TbH2nYYiDlwWDsCx_H23ainayHbp4rzPACLcB/s540/JeanPaulSartreExperienceFront.jpg" width="540" height="517" /></a></div><center><img src="http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y142/Brushback/JeanPaulSartreExperienceCaption_zpsxfqixs7d.jpg~original" border="0" alt=" photo JeanPaulSartreExperienceCaption_zpsxfqixs7d.jpg"/></center><br />The first Flying Nun record that I ever bought new was the Jean Paul Sartre Experience "I Like Rain" 7", which I dug a whole lot, even though it was a bit more delicate than what I was usually listening to at the time. Besides, it had a cool silkscreened cover - I think mine was orange. Eventually I got rid of it (probably to make room for another dumb Sebadoh 7"), although at some point further along I picked up the first JPSE 12", which actually came out before the "I Like Rain" 7-inch, so I kinda bought them backwards I guess (plus, I was kidding, I didn't actually collect Sebadoh 7-inchers). This one's been most helpfully broken up into a "rock music" side and a "quiet" side, no doubt aimed towards assisting "rock" dummies like me in figuring out which side to play first, although the quiet side is neat as well and songs like "Own Two Feet" and "Walking Wild" are obvious precursors to the likes of Dick Diver, Salad Boys, Lower Plenty, Bitch Prefect, Twerps, etc. Okay, maybe it's not so obvious.<br /><br /><br /><center>Jean Paul Sartre Experience -<br /><br /><a href="https://app.box.com/s/hh3o4ocimxq4u74kyc34zz4ygn5dvhqs" target="_blank">"Flex"</a><br /><br /><a href="https://app.box.com/s/2b2cngbc7ekuboimlqnkluzby72g1oah" target="_blank">"Fish In The Sea"</a><br /><br /><a href="https://app.box.com/s/8yy7qh3uym029pelfz7rdqq1ur9nz86q" target="_blank">"Loving Grapevine"</a></center><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MUshIr5EqpU/V5qQh_kiVuI/AAAAAAAABO4/FTy73K3OWTQ79_xID9lYspHuhol2P-AlgCLcB/s1600/JeanPaulSartreExperienceBackA.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MUshIr5EqpU/V5qQh_kiVuI/AAAAAAAABO4/FTy73K3OWTQ79_xID9lYspHuhol2P-AlgCLcB/s500/JeanPaulSartreExperienceBackA.jpg" width="540" height="474" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XsWpFEUH0Cc/V5qQwe5VJTI/AAAAAAAABO8/slo-8EGnHZYY_ceBtVz4rTIWTbZiLtYKgCLcB/s1600/JeanPaulSartreExperienceVinyl%2B%25281%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XsWpFEUH0Cc/V5qQwe5VJTI/AAAAAAAABO8/slo-8EGnHZYY_ceBtVz4rTIWTbZiLtYKgCLcB/s534/JeanPaulSartreExperienceVinyl%2B%25281%2529.jpg" width="458" height="510" /></a></div>http://onebaseonanoverthrow.blogspot.com/2016/07/most-of-time-im-not-much-fun-rest-of.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Brushback)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2239910173455706271.post-3969139972764430591Sun, 05 Jun 2016 02:39:00 +00002016-06-04T22:39:13.348-04:0010'spunk/HCUrochromesI've Never Been An Intellectual But I Have This Look<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XK0xRVf1shg/V1Nl4GnyNTI/AAAAAAAABNc/2GBvPT0_10wuJwRTXR2HwoOtJtB6xxHXACLcB/s1600/UrochromesWizzardSleeveFront.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XK0xRVf1shg/V1Nl4GnyNTI/AAAAAAAABNc/2GBvPT0_10wuJwRTXR2HwoOtJtB6xxHXACLcB/s540/UrochromesWizzardSleeveFront.jpg" /></a></div><center><img src="http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y142/Brushback/UrochromesWizzardSleeveCaption_zpsjvy22sq9.jpg~original" border="0" alt=" photo UrochromesWizzardSleeveCaption_zpsjvy22sq9.jpg"/></center><br />If you happen to see a copy of the new(-ish) Urochromes/Wizzard Sleeve split then grab it, because the Urochromes side shreds, plus it doesn't seem to be on the Free Music Archive like I thought all the WFMU live in-studio sessions were, so this is probably your only way of hearing it. (The Wizzard Sleeve side is okay too, just, y'know, not Urochromes.) I've blown a couple of chances at seeing Urochromes live because I'm kinda not good at sniffing things out that way, I guess; they actually played at the tail end of the Tenement / Big Zit show that I went to last year, but I split before their set because it was late and I had a two-hour drive home and if I stuck around any longer all the coffee in the world wasn't gonna keep me out of the trees. Should've stuck around to see them and buy their demo tape, though, I would've been SO AHEAD OF THE CURVE if I did. That's important to like two people, who all post on Termbo or the Jerkbooth so fuck 'em.<br /><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-x1i6eYUEuIE/V1Nl9Z4f1MI/AAAAAAAABNk/y_dInXTFpHw79Kyc8WuPq9ngLRPSfej9gCLcB/s1600/UrochromesWizzardSleeveBack.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-x1i6eYUEuIE/V1Nl9Z4f1MI/AAAAAAAABNk/y_dInXTFpHw79Kyc8WuPq9ngLRPSfej9gCLcB/s500/UrochromesWizzardSleeveBack.jpg" /></a></div><br /><center>Urochromes -<br /><br /><a href="https://app.box.com/s/lfsabb56as325vysymwagh404321r2pv" target="_blank">"My Disposition"</a><br /><br /><a href="https://app.box.com/s/med9kpi3g021gzuknhjq4gko4yva1ci9" target="_blank">"2 Men"</a></center><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-lQl0lnZRWGY/V1NmCsL2HsI/AAAAAAAABNs/lFvI3QaXto4kMdSPuJ7f4R9ffntuttOswCLcB/s1600/UrochromesWizzardSleeveInsert.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-lQl0lnZRWGY/V1NmCsL2HsI/AAAAAAAABNs/lFvI3QaXto4kMdSPuJ7f4R9ffntuttOswCLcB/s560/UrochromesWizzardSleeveInsert.JPG" /></a></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ysQVJRZk-EM/V1NmHoGKRsI/AAAAAAAABN0/aOzOjPFjYwcdCpUUxF8zBw3c0t3kGdZXgCLcB/s1600/UrochromesWizzardSleeveVinyl.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ysQVJRZk-EM/V1NmHoGKRsI/AAAAAAAABN0/aOzOjPFjYwcdCpUUxF8zBw3c0t3kGdZXgCLcB/s500/UrochromesWizzardSleeveVinyl.jpg" /></a></div>http://onebaseonanoverthrow.blogspot.com/2016/06/ive-never-been-intellectual-but-i-have.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Brushback)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2239910173455706271.post-1241446974654786025Sat, 07 May 2016 22:33:00 +00002016-05-08T09:24:40.629-04:0010'sindie rock/popMinneapolis Uranium Club BandA Genius Is The One Most Like Himself<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/--5xlhrD0ABk/VyYhjst3JmI/AAAAAAAABMw/EovpLFYN-bQhpC4pFpb6N9JvwROVCqGowCLcB/s1600/MinneapolisUraniumClubFront.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/--5xlhrD0ABk/VyYhjst3JmI/AAAAAAAABMw/EovpLFYN-bQhpC4pFpb6N9JvwROVCqGowCLcB/s540/MinneapolisUraniumClubFront.jpg" /></a></div><center><img src="http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y142/Brushback/Minneapolis%20Uranium%20Club%20Band%20Caption_zpsqk9ab6gy.jpg~original"/></center><br />I had a thought of doing a "best live sets of 2015" recap earlier in the year, but like most things that idea quickly fell out of my head and I never picked it back up again. Definitely the best live band I saw last year was Uranium Club, back in November; I drove all the way to Providence just to see them (although Neutral Fixation II were on the bill, too, which made the trip worth it) and they were completely killer and their set was way tight, as any good band that's been on tour for a while tends to get. I mean, their songs are full of starts and stops and so forth and they didn't even bother really looking at each other or counting things off all that much, just starting each song or shifting through changes on-the-dot like it was the most natural thing in the world for anyone to do. Afterwards I asked them if it was actually The Minneapolis Uranium Club Band or just Uranium Club and they said "it can be whatever you want it to be", so that's cool. I think I'll start calling them Toto. Wait, that joke isn't even halfway funny. They also had some buttons and pencils for sale, and a weird hand-out about radiation poisoning, which I'm not sure where I put it so I think I lost mine. Anyway, their album (heavy Midwest legacy rock / Dow Jones & The Industrials damage) was originally self-released on a cassette and then Fashionable Idiots pressed it up as an LP and it sold out in like five months; I think it's be re-released overseas since, though. When I first bought the record last year I was so excited over it that I ripped it to my computer - which takes a couple of hours - because it didn't come with a download code, which was before I found out that you could get the whole thing as a free download on the Fashionable Idiots bandcamp. Duh. Also, the center labels on the record are faked, like a bootleg, and they dropped a card inside the jacket explaining that it was the pressing plant's fault but I'm pretty sure they just made that part up. <br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zRIOawf4eQ0/VyYie2fyUoI/AAAAAAAABNA/hmUjDHk5Z8wA3_zOCutn7KByIVfWYRt1gCLcB/s1600/UraniumClubProvidence11-16-15Swag%2B007.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zRIOawf4eQ0/VyYie2fyUoI/AAAAAAAABNA/hmUjDHk5Z8wA3_zOCutn7KByIVfWYRt1gCLcB/s480/UraniumClubProvidence11-16-15Swag%2B007.JPG" /></a></div><br /><center>The Minneapolis Uranium Club Band -<br /><br /><a href="https://app.box.com/s/5diwg85fe5uanv3duvcwnou9jwz07488" target="_blank">"Rafter Man"</a><br /><br /><a href="https://app.box.com/s/aiotbt5f1eq8azhj14un5gq2q6ssv1la" target="_blank">"Vanishing Point"</a><br /><br /><br />Also, someone at the show videotaped their set and you can watch the whole thing here, it's pretty great:<br /><br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="270" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/qSFQeVTbwlY" width="480"></iframe></center><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-y8V35QG7T-M/VyYhpYxyt8I/AAAAAAAABM0/tAohZ3HF8f4mak8YVFykDo4sDj3U4PVpQCLcB/s1600/MinneapolisUraniumClubBack.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-y8V35QG7T-M/VyYhpYxyt8I/AAAAAAAABM0/tAohZ3HF8f4mak8YVFykDo4sDj3U4PVpQCLcB/s480/MinneapolisUraniumClubBack.jpg" /></a></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3X3RuBlezjQ/VyYhuag26KI/AAAAAAAABM4/exvWE5NxU9056EokdrEYW7p1TsqOJJkkgCLcB/s1600/Minneapolis%2BUranium%2BClub%2BBand-Label.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3X3RuBlezjQ/VyYhuag26KI/AAAAAAAABM4/exvWE5NxU9056EokdrEYW7p1TsqOJJkkgCLcB/s480/Minneapolis%2BUranium%2BClub%2BBand-Label.JPG" /></a></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-w3AdQqp-4LA/VyYik2PLK0I/AAAAAAAABNE/Td4hrzw7Iqg6FyhK_TKg_tOfdw0pYGs1QCLcB/s1600/UraniumClubProvidence11-16-15%2B%25289%2529900a.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-w3AdQqp-4LA/VyYik2PLK0I/AAAAAAAABNE/Td4hrzw7Iqg6FyhK_TKg_tOfdw0pYGs1QCLcB/s540/UraniumClubProvidence11-16-15%2B%25289%2529900a.JPG" /></a></div>http://onebaseonanoverthrow.blogspot.com/2016/05/a-genius-is-one-most-like-himself.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Brushback)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2239910173455706271.post-7547333347334195378Tue, 19 Apr 2016 23:56:00 +00002016-04-19T19:56:09.797-04:0090'sAshtabulaindie rock/popEternal Nothingness Is Fine If You Happen To Be Dressed For It<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5YlI-Z77ZdQ/VxRZx2xGAyI/AAAAAAAABLc/T8UzHrgijHspFjXLOd9RVaLe85Qo-1q4ACLcB/s1600/AshtabulaRiverOfManyDeadFishFront.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5YlI-Z77ZdQ/VxRZx2xGAyI/AAAAAAAABLc/T8UzHrgijHspFjXLOd9RVaLe85Qo-1q4ACLcB/s560/AshtabulaRiverOfManyDeadFishFront.jpg" /></a></div><center><img src="http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y142/Brushback/AshtabulaRiverOfDeadFishCaption_zpshwu7misa.jpg~original"/></center><br />My 99-cent tour through the Siltbreeze catalog rolls along with this Ashtabula 12", which from the outside looks like it could be an abstract noise record, but on the inside is actually loud, catchy indie rock à la Sebadoh, or Helikopter (Balt-o band that I posted about once), or even Siltbreeze alums Monkey 101 in a handful of ways. Side Two meanders a bit, otherwise I wouldn't dig this as much -- if it were more straightforward it would be disappointing -- although there's still some part of me that wonders why this rec is such an easy pick-up on Discogs, especially considering its prime Bardo Pond / Strapping Fieldhands pedigree. But, it worked out in my favor this time (unlike the Sam Esh + Hard Black Thing record, which I'll probably never listen to again), so far be it for me to complain.<br /><br /><br /><center>Ashtabula -<br /><br /><a href="https://app.box.com/s/49u8n27w7wujx48tukrbhidlpfebjpyv" target="_blank">"Nineteenpointsix"</a><br /><br /><a href="https://app.box.com/s/xc9zi6vpsrz7qrjzzq740zpv6w88lq9e" target="_blank">"Way Too Fast"</a></center><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7ILfndmI0uk/VxRZ7PkT3cI/AAAAAAAABLg/fAZyHX3UkgYghIhZSF4Koc1zCuhBtC_4ACLcB/s1600/AshtabulaRiverOfManyDeadFishBack.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7ILfndmI0uk/VxRZ7PkT3cI/AAAAAAAABLg/fAZyHX3UkgYghIhZSF4Koc1zCuhBtC_4ACLcB/s500/AshtabulaRiverOfManyDeadFishBack.jpg" /></a></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xlo-SI0kKLQ/VxRYl4PDH4I/AAAAAAAABLM/t_awc4_qe5op03Gw_VyHWz0qoV5hbijHwCLcB/s1600/AshtabulaRiverOfManyDeadFishFront%2B029.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xlo-SI0kKLQ/VxRYl4PDH4I/AAAAAAAABLM/t_awc4_qe5op03Gw_VyHWz0qoV5hbijHwCLcB/s460/AshtabulaRiverOfManyDeadFishFront%2B029.jpg" /></a></div>http://onebaseonanoverthrow.blogspot.com/2016/04/eternal-nothingness-is-fine-if-you.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Brushback)3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2239910173455706271.post-2924838304805079155Sun, 17 Apr 2016 22:08:00 +00002016-04-17T18:18:05.875-04:0010'sNastipunk/HCI Ain't Never Heard A Horse Sing A Song<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-sBonBd7z1YU/VxQAyk07i9I/AAAAAAAABKo/rCKn76EJJ1cXopBU6imaKlpw79L6v-w5ACLcB/s1600/NastiExStatic-Front.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-sBonBd7z1YU/VxQAyk07i9I/AAAAAAAABKo/rCKn76EJJ1cXopBU6imaKlpw79L6v-w5ACLcB/s540/NastiExStatic-Front.jpg" /></a></div><center><img src="http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y142/Brushback/NastiExStaticCaption_zps7tctids4.jpg~original"/></center><br />I picked this tape up at a show that I was at the other day -- one of the bands at the show had it in their distro box -- and it's pretty rulin' noisy hardcore stuff, very Cult Maternal-ish, although the track that I'm going to post here is a dead-ringer for Hoax, ha ha. I can't say that there's anything here that breaks a whole lot of new ground, but I found myself listening to this tape (which came out last year on Perennial, home of lots of other neat stuff, like Vexx, Broken Water, etc) about ten times since I bought it and also the lyrics are pretty clever (read them), so I figured I'd share. There's a forthcoming Nasti LP on Iron Lung that's being mixed right now, according to the Iron Lung blogspot, although what type of idiot would have a blogspot in 2016, anyway. <br /><br /><center>Nasti -<br /><br /><a href="https://app.box.com/s/dbikuqzwuvqjx31okzygkdppyjg8elmx" target="_blank">"Nasti"</a></center><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-GZcwuFIC9YA/VxPtdwch8lI/AAAAAAAABJs/ebiJ45S--g8eo139bLkueUjSldQ7vP5_gCLcB/s1600/NastiExStaticBacka.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-GZcwuFIC9YA/VxPtdwch8lI/AAAAAAAABJs/ebiJ45S--g8eo139bLkueUjSldQ7vP5_gCLcB/s500/NastiExStaticBacka.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZGreym1XSQQ/VxPuCyWU63I/AAAAAAAABJw/74kP4kZV8wE78COfCBihCFs_D-zPZ6JWgCLcB/s1600/NastiExStaticInsert.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZGreym1XSQQ/VxPuCyWU63I/AAAAAAAABJw/74kP4kZV8wE78COfCBihCFs_D-zPZ6JWgCLcB/s560/NastiExStaticInsert.JPG" /></a></div>http://onebaseonanoverthrow.blogspot.com/2016/04/i-aint-never-heard-horse-sing-song.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Brushback)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2239910173455706271.post-6535813764489315665Sun, 27 Mar 2016 20:07:00 +00002016-03-27T16:11:37.979-04:0010'sFramtidpunk/HCStrictly Speaking I Believe I’ve Never Been Anywhere<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7EBkBCQ3-Rk/Vvg4knxcKSI/AAAAAAAABJU/abLtSpPxG3sXn7NrLIn8bsQGdrEUSBiDA/s1600/FramtidTheHorrificVisionsEP%2B001a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7EBkBCQ3-Rk/Vvg4knxcKSI/AAAAAAAABJU/abLtSpPxG3sXn7NrLIn8bsQGdrEUSBiDA/s640/FramtidTheHorrificVisionsEP%2B001a.jpg" /></a></div><br /><center>Alternate "show edition" 7" for two shows that didn't happen.<br /><br />Framtid -<br /><br /><a href="https://app.box.com/s/8dfjdmgmjiirmmzo3517xuvjyqnijgqa" target="_blank">"Visions of Onkalo"</a><br /></center><br/><br />http://onebaseonanoverthrow.blogspot.com/2016/03/strictly-speaking-i-believe-ive-never.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Brushback)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2239910173455706271.post-845777371041726759Fri, 11 Mar 2016 01:25:00 +00002016-03-10T20:25:22.682-05:0090'sDynamic Truthsindie rock/popIf Love Is Blind Then I Wish You Were Out Of Sight<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BDrIEih5JIY/VuDFZ5VAWmI/AAAAAAAABIg/D6HG9OYCCnI/s1600/DynamicTruthsFrontA.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BDrIEih5JIY/VuDFZ5VAWmI/AAAAAAAABIg/D6HG9OYCCnI/s460/DynamicTruthsFrontA.JPG" /></a></div><center><img src="http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y142/Brushback/DynamicTruthsCaption_zpskjlyhf68.jpg~original"/></center><br />This is something that I picked up on one of my first record-shopping trips into Boston after moving into the area last year - at a store on Mass. Ave that sold mostly old jazz sides, so I was somewhat psyched when I saw this peeking out at me from one of the bins, and not just because it's a great single but also because it was just a buck. Dynamic Truths were wunna Bob Schick's post-Honor Role bands (Honor Role = legendary), and this 7" was the only thing that they released, at least up until a retrospective CD that came out on Little Black Cloud about a half-decade ago (which I've actually never seen, tho I managed to swipe a couple mp3's from some blog way back when). Musically this sorta sounds like Honor Role re-imagining songs from the first Christian Death LP, and if that sounds lame to you then it's not, it's fuggin' top notch.

I figure that it's worth the risk, and so far I've been almost close to 100% right. It took me a while to get around to listening to this Sapat album -- when you pay less than three bucks for something, it tends to sit in the back of the milk crate while you prioritize other more important things, like listening to that $25 Dick Diver record that you bought from Midheaven -- but now that I've listened to it a few times, I've pretty much fallen in love with it. Sounds kinda like if Can were an Xpressway band. Or, maybe now that I think about it, like a Siltbreeze band. Gee, I hope that Tom Lax doesn't see this because then he'll probably want to sue me.<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YQWqjZMjnTA/Vr6cv7uTOhI/AAAAAAAABH4/BjQtUT62iiQ/s1600/SapatMortiseAndTenonBack.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YQWqjZMjnTA/Vr6cv7uTOhI/AAAAAAAABH4/BjQtUT62iiQ/s480/SapatMortiseAndTenonBack.jpg" /></a></div><br /><center>Sapat -<br /><br /><a href="https://app.box.com/s/1132v70n0ikm8y4ldhm0k7gdhslc7dlt" target="_blank">"Lovely and Free"</a></center><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8oyJINXUd1M/Vr6ZJjKTXeI/AAAAAAAABHk/P9-Kljwovvw/s1600/SapatMortiseAndTenonVinyl.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8oyJINXUd1M/Vr6ZJjKTXeI/AAAAAAAABHk/P9-Kljwovvw/s480/SapatMortiseAndTenonVinyl.jpg" /></a></div>http://onebaseonanoverthrow.blogspot.com/2016/02/people-say-nothing-is-impossible-but-i.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Brushback)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2239910173455706271.post-3224792570006197489Sat, 30 Jan 2016 22:30:00 +00002016-05-07T10:07:21.139-04:0080'sGame Theoryindie rock/popWatch Who You're Calling Space Garbage, Meteor Mouth <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-dgiH49SbPbM/Vq02eEL2CkI/AAAAAAAABGw/L3nxAf9jkp0/s1600/GameTheoryLolitaNationFront.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-dgiH49SbPbM/Vq02eEL2CkI/AAAAAAAABGw/L3nxAf9jkp0/s500/GameTheoryLolitaNationFront.jpg"></a></div><center><img src="https://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y142/Brushback/GameTheoryLolitaNationCaption_zpsaibxljla.jpg~original"></center><br />I didn't know "Lolita Nation" was being re-issued, like, next week, which shows me for not paying attention to "Black Friday"/"Record Store Day" re-issue labels and their ilk, I guess. Hence, my incentive to pull this out now and give it a listen. Stuff like this was way too college rock for me back when it first came out, but like John Brannon says, "Maybe I was too hardcore at the time to like some shit, but I can appreciate that shit retroactively." Definitely a weird pop album from one of the weirdest "pop" bands -- a bit too precious and indulgent at times, at other times like Alex Chilton singing "Sgt. Pepper's" after Doug Gillard and Matthew Sweet re-wrote all the songs. If that sounds like a good idea to you, then no doubt you should pick up the re-issue (just google "Black Friday Record Store Day Labels", I'm sure the list won't be too long).<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ia7sxXIpZzs/Vq03KqaTHdI/AAAAAAAABG4/d4M_sO1FuQQ/s1600/GameTheoryLolitaNationBack.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ia7sxXIpZzs/Vq03KqaTHdI/AAAAAAAABG4/d4M_sO1FuQQ/s480/GameTheoryLolitaNationBack.jpg"></a></div><br /><center>Game Theory -<br /><br /><a href="https://app.box.com/s/p9rswba5gymmnu4h88gio0qu5l2qsrj6" target="_blank">"Kenneth -- What's The Frequency?"/"Not Because You Can"</a><br /><br /><a href="https://app.box.com/s/73ea7egnd0z3zuptgbe75snd7ob778p4" target="_blank">"Go Ahead, You're Dying To"/"Dripping With Looks"</a><br /><br /><a href="https://app.box.com/s/nod3tmenooqer0m0dfderdm0l6ds2t8i" target="_blank">"Chardonnay"</a><br /><br /><a href="https://app.box.com/s/g99sd831ysm2xninioqgochg9s3q4jrx" target="_blank">"Last Day That We're Young"</a><br /><br /><a href="https://app.box.com/s/yrnpau0z51cw0pepyb6ot9wrm596dn4s" target="_blank">"The Waist and The Knees"</a></center><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-EdhJQPMnhhg/Vq05BX26cpI/AAAAAAAABHE/XkHs0GkpvYg/s1600/GameTheoryLolitaNationVinyl.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-EdhJQPMnhhg/Vq05BX26cpI/AAAAAAAABHE/XkHs0GkpvYg/s480/GameTheoryLolitaNationVinyl.jpg"></a></div>http://onebaseonanoverthrow.blogspot.com/2016/01/watch-who-youre-calling-space-garbage.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Brushback)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2239910173455706271.post-2582991484945255787Sun, 24 Jan 2016 22:20:00 +00002016-01-24T17:20:19.910-05:0080'sindie rock/poppunk/HCStraw DogsI Ain't In A Slump, I Just Ain't Hitting<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mXOLMnLXbiU/VqUvfirG-qI/AAAAAAAABGE/8fk_04hfHO4/s1600/StrawDogsAreNotAmusedFront.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mXOLMnLXbiU/VqUvfirG-qI/AAAAAAAABGE/8fk_04hfHO4/s540/StrawDogsAreNotAmusedFront.jpg" /></a></div><center><img src="http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y142/Brushback/StrawDogsAreNotAmusedCaption_zpsqafjlywv.jpg~original"/></center><br />Of all the Boston Crew-type HC bands that went metal back in the '80s (which was pretty much all of 'em), I think that Jerry's Kids ended up making the best "post-XClaim!-era" record with "Kill Kill Kill", which in some ways has a sound that isn't all that separated from "Is This My World?" --- sure, some of the lyrics are dumber, and there's a bigger "metal" sound to the drums and guitars, but the songwriting in general tends to fall back onto straight hardcore thrash and a few of the songs on "Kill Kill Kill" wouldn't have sounded at all out of place if they'd been recorded back when "Is This My World"?" was being made. The F.U.'s, on the other hand, not only changed their name (to Straw Dogs) but changed their sound entirely, and "We Are Not Amused" is pretty much a straight-up commercial metal/hard rock record with barely a trace of punk to be found at all, other than Sox' vocals of course. It's not a great record all the way through -- the quality level really drops off after the top four or five songs -- but the guitars pack way more of a punch than any of the rock slough released by SSD or DYS (for instance), and it also has some of the best drumming I've ever heard on a hard rock record. I say that there's not much punk involved, but I suppose it takes a punk to take pot shots at all the phony "sign of the devil" Mötley Crüe crap and hit the target as dead-on as "Carnival In Hell" does. I'm not exactly sure what the slags against John Sex Bomb and the Anthrax Club on the thank you list/lyric sheet are all about, but I'm guessing it probably has something to do with a show that the F.U.'s tried to play at the old Stamford Anthrax years ago. At least, I think I read about it in a book somewhere.<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-sI4FgI0iKJg/VqUvsl6q_PI/AAAAAAAABGM/UlfRU-qgyXk/s1600/StrawDogsAreNotAmusedBack.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-sI4FgI0iKJg/VqUvsl6q_PI/AAAAAAAABGM/UlfRU-qgyXk/s480/StrawDogsAreNotAmusedBack.jpg" /></a></div><br /><center>Straw Dogs -<br /><br /><a href="https://app.box.com/s/2n0yqgm5zoxvnus2nxo8lw8oyf8pse8r" target="_blank">"Carnival In Hell"</a><br /><br /><a href="https://app.box.com/s/ee9ih3voppkngmzfzuj2p00ktcuujsi9" target="_blank">"The Hunger"</a><br /><br /><a href="https://app.box.com/s/s0q64k5wju0bvufozvqu4003uyvy9rnx" target="_blank">"In Deep"</a><br /><br /><a href="https://app.box.com/s/dzf183c51zcxbhgxbqhqwwsx1vwqgllp" target="_blank">"Trigger Finger"</a><br /></center><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xAO6p8P8vAM/VqUv4VK9DCI/AAAAAAAABGU/-2dLaPr3hvg/s1600/StrawDogsAreNotAmusedLyricsA.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xAO6p8P8vAM/VqUv4VK9DCI/AAAAAAAABGU/-2dLaPr3hvg/s480/StrawDogsAreNotAmusedLyricsA.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-lTFIKhE5Kas/VqUwAeYVyHI/AAAAAAAABGc/7BlkU3my_nE/s1600/StrawDogsAreNotAmusedVinyl.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-lTFIKhE5Kas/VqUwAeYVyHI/AAAAAAAABGc/7BlkU3my_nE/s480/StrawDogsAreNotAmusedVinyl.jpg" /></a></div>http://onebaseonanoverthrow.blogspot.com/2016/01/i-aint-in-slump-i-just-aint-hitting.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Brushback)2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2239910173455706271.post-7916342001676486620Sun, 17 Jan 2016 18:37:00 +00002016-01-18T13:09:30.899-05:0080'sindie rock/popPeter DaytonI Don't Know Right From Wrong<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Fw-kvJ6-LIs/VpvWVeIHHNI/AAAAAAAABFw/jGma4CJaQBk/s1600/PeterDaytonLoveAt1stSight500a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Fw-kvJ6-LIs/VpvWVeIHHNI/AAAAAAAABFw/jGma4CJaQBk/s1600/PeterDaytonLoveAt1stSight500a.jpg" /></a></div><center><img src="http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y142/Brushback/PeterDaytonLoveAt1stSightCaption_zpsnaorxnhc.jpg~original"/></center><br />I bought this as a present to myself for $2 because it's Peter Dayton, frontman for Boston monsters La Peste, being helped out by members of the Cars (Ric Ocasek, Elliot Easton and Greg Hawkes); I mean, there's no way that could not be great, right? If you've heard the studio tracks at the end of the La Peste collection that Matador put out a couple of decades ago (a couple of which Greg Hawkes also played on, if I remember correctly) then you kinda already know what to expect from this. If you haven't, then nod your head and just go with it. La Peste's "Skin Tight" gets re-made as a new-wave power-pop song and is the top of the class here; it probably would've made for a nifty KBD-styled 7" 45 had it been released with "Perfect Wave" -- somewhat of a surf instrumental -- on the flip. The other two songs on here aren't anything special, although the extra-flabby ballad "Stuck on The Same Refrain" is probably what set this 12" up as probably nothing more than a resume for a record deal. If you don't own any La Peste stuff then try to track down the "Better Off Dead" single, it was recently re-issued twice and thus is fairly easy to buy online.<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PKZ1FPnZI0k/VpvQGqRiUqI/AAAAAAAABFA/Z8imCLNJDhM/s1600/PeterDaytonLoveAt1stSightBack.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PKZ1FPnZI0k/VpvQGqRiUqI/AAAAAAAABFA/Z8imCLNJDhM/s480/PeterDaytonLoveAt1stSightBack.jpg" /></a></div><br /><center>Peter Dayton -<br /><br /><a href="https://app.box.com/s/rs4bk9gvz0yyvradcn7m6sv9igcmouos" target="_blank">"Skintite"</a><br /><br /><a href="https://app.box.com/s/xnj6c8jey8678oy2tay0mgszi6eqo9u5" target="_blank">"Perfect Wave"</a></center><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4u2vXj6QWCM/VpvQy7rZeJI/AAAAAAAABFI/71VLvLPc1Z8/s1600/PeterDaytonLoveAt1stSightInsert.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4u2vXj6QWCM/VpvQy7rZeJI/AAAAAAAABFI/71VLvLPc1Z8/s540/PeterDaytonLoveAt1stSightInsert.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sr6t4xKtcWc/VpvQ4E-ZKxI/AAAAAAAABFQ/1r-4cpnTY3c/s1600/PeterDaytonLoveAt1stSightVinyl.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sr6t4xKtcWc/VpvQ4E-ZKxI/AAAAAAAABFQ/1r-4cpnTY3c/s480/PeterDaytonLoveAt1stSightVinyl.jpg" /></a></div>http://onebaseonanoverthrow.blogspot.com/2016/01/i-dont-know-right-from-wrong.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Brushback)4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2239910173455706271.post-6038293936188837969Sun, 03 Jan 2016 00:47:00 +00002016-01-30T17:07:21.191-05:0080'sBig Dipperindie rock/popIf You're Gonna Be An Artist You Gotta Draw The Line Somewhere<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-FID5ItI_AsQ/VohYTrJbSJI/AAAAAAAABEM/3fhClcHwwSI/s1600/BigDipperCrapsFront.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-FID5ItI_AsQ/VohYTrJbSJI/AAAAAAAABEM/3fhClcHwwSI/s540/BigDipperCrapsFront.jpg" /></a></div><center><img src="http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y142/Brushback/BigDipperCrapsCaption_zpsj8mbycuk.jpg~original" border="0" alt=" photo BigDipperCrapsCaption_zpsj8mbycuk.jpg"/></center><br />One of the things that I find amusing about the legacy of Big Dipper is that they're now being portrayed -- or, at least, back when all the reissues were coming out -- as this sort of whimsical underground band that no one had ever heard of, when in fact they were a favorite band of a lot of people back in the '80s, myself included. I guess "unknown band" these days (post-internet) is shorthand for "the college sophomore intern at PopMatters never heard of them", which -- in this case -- makes me wonder what those people would think if they ever somehow stumbled upon an Embarrassment record. "Wait, there's a band that's even older than Big Dipper, with some of the same songs and even one of the same guys in it? That's it, I quit." Don't even think about the Volcano Suns, jesus. <br /><br />I'm pretty sure that I saw Big Dipper at least a couple of times while they were still around, although the only time that I remember was at TT's in Boston, where Peter Prescott was in the audience, standing in the back of the room and glaring towards the stage with a "you stole my band" look on his face. Actually, Peter was there, but I could just be making the 'glaring' part up. Anyway, enough of me talking -- do you want to hear some songs from Big Dipper's third record, "Craps"? It's a fairly excellent album, if I say so myself. I think it was maybe the next one that was kind of bad.<br /><br /><br /><center>Big Dipper -<br /><br /><strike>"Ron Klaus Wrecked His House"</strike><br /><br /><strike>"The Insane Girl"</strike><br /><br /><strike>"Stardom Because"</strike><br /><br /><strike>"Hey!

This single is from a later lineup that featured Mark Eitzel of American Music Club on (serious, dramatic) vocals.

"Stare Away" is actually the best song on here, so I'm leaving it off so you'll be encouraged to go out and buy this thing on your own, or just download it from another blog, whatever. The front cover and back cover are both the same shade of grey, by the way, it's just that one side is a picture taken with a camera vs. scanning the other side on a scanner.

The package is pretty funky -- an LP jacket spray-painted black so heavily that it became soggy and warped, a tape reel box affixed to the front with a booklet and some papers inside, and almost no mention of the band name anywhere -- so it's no wonder that most people wouldn't know what this was, even if they saw it in a store. For a near-20-track LP, pretty much everything on here is fairly prime avant-rock; now that I'm finally getting the chance to hear all of this stuff, I'm realizing that this is a band that carried a really high on-base percentage, for sure. Figures that I had to go record shopping in Massachusetts to find out about a Connecticut band.<br /><br /><br /><center>Bimbo Shrineheads -<br /><br /><a href="https://app.box.com/s/iqa711hoc345rzx2b90uvwpt9o320tnb" target="_blank">"Implosion"</a><br /><br /><a href="https://app.box.com/s/26bp7c10ubzjxrbkk0rzi22u7av35ajx" target="_blank">"Slabs"</a><br /><br /><a href="https://app.box.com/s/xyg5c0ddy2vki5yl9wsaql3iqh9uo4if" target="_blank">"How To Get Fucked Up The Ass With a Flag and Smile and Be Really Happy and Grateful"</a><br /><br /><a href="https://app.box.com/s/fzxcae5p8nc0kcewo49o5323d2ywwm4y" target="_blank">"Separating Your Face From My Windshield"</a></center><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

As before, the b-side rocks harder than the a-side, which adds some handclaps or exaggerated snare hits into the mix, like this was a Soul Asylum record or something.<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7i6fnIp2mIc/VmSausDk4MI/AAAAAAAAA8w/1FfzFD0hXS4/s1600/NewChristsBlackHoleBack.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7i6fnIp2mIc/VmSausDk4MI/AAAAAAAAA8w/1FfzFD0hXS4/s450/NewChristsBlackHoleBack.JPG" /></a></div><br /><center>The New Christs -<br /><br /><a href="https://app.box.com/s/84evsdw5s5ccmlwifisf5k2698aaxkez" target="_blank">"The Black Hole"</a><br /><br /><a href="https://app.box.com/s/dwhnn9k1lryyowlkma7zsvja0pxebj27" target="_blank">"Addiction"</a></center><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-njqcdQV8Lwk/VmSbFHTKTdI/AAAAAAAAA84/V2fZUleUhIM/s1600/NewChristsBlackHole%2B%25281%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-njqcdQV8Lwk/VmSbFHTKTdI/AAAAAAAAA84/V2fZUleUhIM/s480/NewChristsBlackHole%2B%25281%2529.jpg" /></a></div>http://onebaseonanoverthrow.blogspot.com/2015/12/the-future-aint-what-it-used-to-be.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Brushback)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2239910173455706271.post-2501130966675488391Sat, 28 Nov 2015 04:16:00 +00002015-11-28T00:16:42.446-05:0070'sBizarrosindie rock/poppunk/HCRubber City RebelsTin HueyWaitressesI Don't Need No Oceans When I Got Industry<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pZX2XCrv9K4/Vlkh_aUYS6I/AAAAAAAAA8E/OOxKwRu5HCo/s1600/TheAkronCompilationFront.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pZX2XCrv9K4/Vlkh_aUYS6I/AAAAAAAAA8E/OOxKwRu5HCo/s500/TheAkronCompilationFront.jpg" /></a></div><br /><center><img src="http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y142/Brushback/TheAkronCompilationCaption_zpshzn77b2z.jpg~original"/></center><br />Here's something of mild interest that I picked up for cheap today at RRR Records in Lowell, instead of chasing around bogus "Black Friday Record Store Day" crap. Apparently at one point Devo had set off a major bidding war, inducing wetness in the usual scene-hopping trendies (Bowie, Eno, etc.) and causing people to squint an eye in the direction of Akron Ohio and wonder "hey, what else is going on there?"... hence this sampler. Despite some disparaging stuff that'd been written about this compilation before ("only one or two tracks of interest, nothing special" -- Dave Fricke or some asshole), once I got it home and plopped it down on the turntable, I found it to contain some fairly neat things, especially on the a-side. The Bizarros track is a total Stooges cop, Tin Huey is sort of Beefheart-ian which makes me wish now that I hadn't skipped over all their dollar records at Brass City back when I was 20, and even The Waitresses contribute a tuff-sounding track ("The Comb", which recently got the remix/reissue treatment and sounds even better now). Supposedly the scratch n sniff cover smells like burning rubber tires -- I dunno, old record jackets all kinda smell like mold to me -- and there's even a backwards "Hotel California" soundbite at the beginning of the first side, which made me chortle a bit and think back to when everybody hated The Eagles. Do people still hate The Eagles?<br /><br /><br /><center>The Bizarros -<br /><br /><a href="https://app.box.com/s/2ua91klikqjib7qbs5ultbrqa584t398" target="_blank">"Nova"</a><br /><br />The Waitresses -<br /><br /><a href="https://app.box.com/s/yxwygehpslmabal0ve73buqz9nx30vj6" target="_blank">"The Comb"</a><br /><br />Tin Huey -<br /><br /><a href="https://app.box.com/s/72888yy2vi2k4zgesjg8ximtgc4au14i" target="_blank">"Chinese Circus"</a><br /><br />Rubber City Rebels -<br /><br /><a href="https://app.box.com/s/76uml4av2fshybxhwzz9amaipun3fsno" target="_blank">"Rubber City Rebels"</a></center><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xqmOk4NRiuM/VlkiHR0rEwI/AAAAAAAAA8M/Mgx9qXO_VDo/s1600/TheAkronCompilationCredits.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xqmOk4NRiuM/VlkiHR0rEwI/AAAAAAAAA8M/Mgx9qXO_VDo/s440/TheAkronCompilationCredits.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-n9ozN1eBcS0/VlkiMHJXUgI/AAAAAAAAA8U/Ky7DLRN-2_4/s1600/TheAkronCompilationInsert.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-n9ozN1eBcS0/VlkiMHJXUgI/AAAAAAAAA8U/Ky7DLRN-2_4/s440/TheAkronCompilationInsert.jpg" /></a></div>http://onebaseonanoverthrow.blogspot.com/2015/11/i-dont-need-no-oceans-when-i-got.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Brushback)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2239910173455706271.post-92185673883529248Sat, 21 Nov 2015 02:46:00 +00002015-11-21T11:47:30.413-05:0010'sindie rock/popDon't Worry What People Think, They Don't Do It Very Often<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ru2VFgc5Ug4/VkdHm-Bh3nI/AAAAAAAAA6c/0rqE1NnF970/s1600/InfinityGirlModernGypsy11-10-15%2B%252811%2529550.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ru2VFgc5Ug4/VkdHm-Bh3nI/AAAAAAAAA6c/0rqE1NnF970/s540/InfinityGirlModernGypsy11-10-15%2B%252811%2529550.jpg" /></a></div><center><img src="http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y142/Brushback/InfinityGirlManchesterTopCaption_zpsqmrnazkc.jpg~original"/></center><br />I've been living in New Hampshire for about a year now, and one of the things that's starting to sink in is how much I took it for granted back in Connecticut when I was living about 6 miles away from The Whitney House, with maybe another 40 minute drive to get to "bigger shows" (in New Haven and etc). If there’s a similar venue around here in New Hampshire then I haven't found it yet (but there’s gotta be, right?), and while it's great to have access to Boston and all the amazing stuff that goes on there, the hefty hour/hour-and-20-minute drive into the city forces me to pick my spots more carefully and be a lot choosier about the bands that I go to see. It completely removes the WGAF-ness of going to a local basement show really quick and not even caring if any of the bands were good or not because, hey, it’s only gonna take me about 6 minutes to get back home and go to bed anyway.<br /><br />Last week I got to break away from that pattern for a bit, and headed up to Modern Gypsy, a 'vintage' clothing store (i.e. "we take the best stuff from Savers and put it aside for you") in Manchester, about 20 miles away. Notches was supposed to play and while I really love Notches, I missed them by showing up too late. They said they sucked anyway, but that's what bands always say. Since I wasn't all that invested in what was going on -- yet another perk of low-key local show-hopping -- I stuck around just for the heck of it to watch the last two bands, one of which was Big Eater, who were sorta like a yacht-rock version of Low crossed with Procedure Club*. Some of their stuff kinda blew, but they had a second guitar player who sat down the whole time, making all kinds of distorted spaceship noises and punching up tape loops and so forth, and that part was pretty great. Then there was Infinity Girl – who maybe don’t even know that there was already a band called Velocity Girl, just like how Parenthetical Girls probably don’t care that there was already a band called Theoretical Girls, but whatever – who are like an emo/shoegaze revivalist band, and guess what: they’re on Topshelf Records (no, seriously. I’m not making this up). Everyone else dug it, for me it was no big deal either way. The main point was, I was able to see some bands as a spur-of-the-moment thing and still got home at a decent hour, which is something that I’ve been missing out on lately. Support your local DIY venue. (*ha ha, I just dropped a Procedure Club reference for no reason, hopefully someone catches it)<br /><br /><br /><iframe style="border: 0; width: 100%; height: 42px;" src="https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=318870726/size=small/bgcol=ffffff/linkcol=0687f5/track=1643960153/transparent=true/" seamless><a href="http://bigeaterbigeater.bandcamp.com/album/in-between">In Between by Big Eater</a></iframe><br /><br /><center><img src="http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y142/Brushback/InfinityGirlManchesterBotCaption_zpsxb078uqh.jpg~original"/></center><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2vgTbFY2MVI/VkdHzXCeXtI/AAAAAAAAA6k/VonRUqIm5Bg/s1600/InfinityGirlModernGypsy11-10-15%2B%252812%2529889.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2vgTbFY2MVI/VkdHzXCeXtI/AAAAAAAAA6k/VonRUqIm5Bg/s500/InfinityGirlModernGypsy11-10-15%2B%252812%2529889.jpg" /></a></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-K-RuOuP-BzA/VkdH3EQZEQI/AAAAAAAAA6s/mYapYE-o_Mo/s1600/InfinityGirlModernGypsy11-10-15%2B%25289%2529980.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-K-RuOuP-BzA/VkdH3EQZEQI/AAAAAAAAA6s/mYapYE-o_Mo/s500/InfinityGirlModernGypsy11-10-15%2B%25289%2529980.jpg" /></a></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zmQo3of5gbs/VkdH6016KnI/AAAAAAAAA60/bc0NOXrNMZY/s1600/InfinityGirlModernGypsy11-10-15%2B%25286%2529800.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zmQo3of5gbs/VkdH6016KnI/AAAAAAAAA60/bc0NOXrNMZY/s500/InfinityGirlModernGypsy11-10-15%2B%25286%2529800.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-UW1QP3AyM0Q/VkdH-ZfQ8XI/AAAAAAAAA68/m1vlSIcZ7Sw/s1600/InfinityGirlModernGypsy11-10-15-720.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-UW1QP3AyM0Q/VkdH-ZfQ8XI/AAAAAAAAA68/m1vlSIcZ7Sw/s500/InfinityGirlModernGypsy11-10-15-720.jpg" /></a></div><center><img src="http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y142/Brushback/BigEaterManchesterBotCaption_zpsiwvxcpob.jpg~original"/></center><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-F3JsHvhNDMM/VkdICelDDCI/AAAAAAAAA7E/gr_f36XjUAk/s1600/BigEaterModernGypsy11-10-15-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-F3JsHvhNDMM/VkdICelDDCI/AAAAAAAAA7E/gr_f36XjUAk/s500/BigEaterModernGypsy11-10-15-3.jpg" /></a></div>http://onebaseonanoverthrow.blogspot.com/2015/11/dont-worry-what-people-think-they-dont.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Brushback)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2239910173455706271.post-6220177398647402193Sun, 15 Nov 2015 03:51:00 +00002015-11-14T22:51:35.139-05:0090'sindie rock/popWhiteThe Only Reason I'm Talking To You Is Because I Thought You Were Somebody<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-db14yf616IQ/Vkf73GjMuFI/AAAAAAAAA7Y/3H_OEgrKonY/s1600/WhiteThisIsABlack-OwnedBusiness%2B%25284%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-db14yf616IQ/Vkf73GjMuFI/AAAAAAAAA7Y/3H_OEgrKonY/s540/WhiteThisIsABlack-OwnedBusiness%2B%25284%2529.jpg" /></a></div><center><img src="http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y142/Brushback/WhiteThisIsACaption_zpsvnmpbuh3.jpg~original"/></center><br />This is the third time that I'm posting something from White, meaning that they're tied with Gas Huffer and one ahead of Billy Squier as far as number of appearances on this blog (there may be an award available for this, I'll have to find out). There was a list that appeared about a year ago on Pitchfork or one of those places about "The Best Noise Rock of 2014" or some such, but the guy who wrote the list was going on about stuff on Slumberland and etc; I'm guessing if you held him down and forced him to listen to this track, he'd be in danger of having a seizure. RIYL: White Suns, Landlords, pieces of Black Flag riffs ("Life of Pain") played backwards. The b-side is said to be a single silent groove but I'm not really motivated enough to listen to it.<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-k9xbLa8_RVk/Vkf7_SjEapI/AAAAAAAAA7g/lCi1IbfV8cE/s1600/WhiteThisIsABlack-OwnedBusinessBack%2B%25283%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-k9xbLa8_RVk/Vkf7_SjEapI/AAAAAAAAA7g/lCi1IbfV8cE/s480/WhiteThisIsABlack-OwnedBusinessBack%2B%25283%2529.jpg" /></a></div><br /><center>White -<br /><br /><a href="https://app.box.com/s/v35yoe5jhh1a8q2kt9wqxs7770fwzuxh" target="_blank">"Untitled"</a></center><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1ln0-84oeeA/Vkf8H9Va1qI/AAAAAAAAA7o/bxBxIkX6pQM/s1600/WhiteThisIsAnInsertWithCredits.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1ln0-84oeeA/Vkf8H9Va1qI/AAAAAAAAA7o/bxBxIkX6pQM/s450/WhiteThisIsAnInsertWithCredits.JPG" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vcvnpMmdY-s/Vkf8OMl0W3I/AAAAAAAAA7w/z_k65fjznBg/s1600/WhiteThisIsABlack-OwnedBusinessInserts.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vcvnpMmdY-s/Vkf8OMl0W3I/AAAAAAAAA7w/z_k65fjznBg/s540/WhiteThisIsABlack-OwnedBusinessInserts.jpg" /></a></div>http://onebaseonanoverthrow.blogspot.com/2015/11/the-only-reason-im-talking-to-you-is.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Brushback)1
